WHAT IS TMS THERAPY?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) also known as rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is an alternative treatment for depression and anxiety. TMS therapy is one of the few depression treatments without medications or drugs. Cleared for use by the FDA in October 2008, TMS is a non-invasive, non-systemic treatment that utilizes MRI strength magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain known to be underactive in depression.

TMS is a powerfully effective and a safe depression treatment without medication for all types of depression. TMS is non-systemic (not through the whole body like medication) and non-invasive (not entering the body). It is non-invasive and requires no medications (which helps patients avoid nasty side-effects they tend to experience with antidepressants and other depression medication). As a result, patients’ lives continue as normal during treatment.

Administered in our depression centers without anesthesia, rTMS treatments last about 30 minutes and are typically given five days a week for six to eight weeks. Side effects are minimal and usually only involve discomfort at the site of treatment. Patients are able to work, go to school, or continue any of their daily activities.

TMS treatment is an FDA approved, outpatient procedure performed in our tms depression treatment centers or clinics. We currently have convenient treatment centers throughout Southern California, including Rancho Cucamonga.

Does TMS Therapy Work?

TMS has the potential to successfully treat an ever-growing number of patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression including persistent depressive disorder, psychotic depression, and atypical depression, especially when coupled with a high number of treatment sessions.

TMS treatment for depression patients usually begin to notice marked improvement after only a week of treatment.

Let us help you like we have help thousands of others. We are committed to helping our patients put their depression behind them.

How Does TMS Therapy Work?

It has long been known that certain critical areas of the frontal lobe of the brain are underactive in depression. TMS delivers a very fast but very strong pulse of electromagnetic energy (on the scale of an small MRI machine) that causes the neurons in the brain to fire as the pulse passes through them.

This increased firing has been demonstrated to trigger the release of BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Growth Factor) and increase activity in the areas stimulated and the surrounding regions. Research has shown increased blood flow to the stimulated areas as well as increased neuronal connections and cellular growth. It’s the equivalent of exercising this part of the brain, and just as a muscle responds to being exercised by getting bigger, so does the brain.

What Does TMS Treat?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treatment started as a breakthrough for major depression but has since evolved to treat most forms of depression including:

• Teen Depression

• Manic Depression

• Anxiety And Depression

• Childhood Depression

• Treatment Resistant Depression

• Chronic Depression

• Major Depression

• Postnatal Depression

• Persistent Depressive Disorder

• Depressive Disorder

• Atypical Depression

• Clinical Depression

• Adult Depression

• Deep Depression

• Situational Depression

• Severe Depression

• Psychotic Depression

• Postpartum Depression

• OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)

New TMS studies are being developed every year, and we are always exploring TMS as an alternative treatment for other mental and medical disorders. As it stand now we offer TMS as an off-label treatment for:

• PTSD

• Chronic Pain

• Bipolar Disorder

How Does TMS Therapy Compare To Other Depression Treatments?

Every year the number of patients suffering from treatment resident depression is rising. Traditional depression treatments involving antidepressants, medications, natural depression therapies, and even holistic depression treatments are not as effect or as cost-effective as they have been in the past. Over the last 15 years new treatments have emerged but not all treatments are equally as safe or effective.

TMS is often confused with ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy) and Deep TMS. While it shares similarities TMS is more different than similar, and substantially more effective and safer than either. Deep TMS has a higher documented seizure rate than normal TMS, and ECT commonly leaves patients with short term memory loss and confusion. TMS over 10 years of clinical experience has shown to be extremely safe and is by far the best treatment for depression.
